Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25: Chapter 25 How could they possibly retreat unscathed

The front gate hadn’t been securely closed and was just wide enough for her to slip through. Seeing this, Yunyi abandoned the idea of scaling the courtyard wall and moving across the rooftops.

She deftly entered the yard and headed straight for the illuminated room. Inside, she heard someone saying, "If they’re eating meat, we brothers should at least get to sip some soup. It’s getting late. Let’s take the things and head back early. Everyone needs to stay alert these next few days."

Hearing that the people inside were about to leave, Yunyi instantly flashed into her space.

Once it was quiet outside, Yunyi emerged again, only to hear someone inside ask, "Have the guys who went out to handle things for Brother Du returned yet?"

"Not yet. But it’s just dealing with a snot-nosed brat; what’s there for the boss to worry about?"

"Do you even know who that snot-nosed brat is?"

"She’s the granddaughter of that old Chu—the one who, unafraid of death, pushed Gu Peiyan aside when Du Sanhe had us intercept the Gu Family."

"It’s her. Is Brother Du intending to eliminate the threat completely?"

"He’s just following orders."

"Boss, over the years, we’ve done plenty of dirty work for the Shen Family. Who knows when we might face retaliation."

The room fell silent for a while. Finally, someone said, "That’s why I was so generous with the goods for the brothers today. It’s to show their years with us haven’t been in vain."

"Boss, what do you mean by that?"

Sun Lao Liu pulled out a cigarette case and took one out. "The Shen Family has been getting crazier and more unscrupulous lately," he said. "I don’t think we can stay involved with them any longer. We have to do this secretly."

"I’ll follow your lead, Big Brother."

"Tomorrow, find some time to inventory everything we put in the cellar tonight. In a few days, find an excuse to give everyone some time off.

"Use that opportunity to move everything out of the cellar. With that stuff, we two brothers can live comfortably for the rest of our lives.

Though these men weren’t good people, Yunyi, eavesdropping outside, couldn’t help but admire this one’s shrewdness.
